If we're talking raw power, I'd say SI would only have a chance of winning if he/she

kept the ghosts as they enhance raw power. SI had to consume several to beat Thanaton.

Only because...

You're not at full strength the first time you fight him. If you think about it, halfway through the SI's rise to power, she chases Thanaton out of his own rooms. There's a long period in there when the Inquisitor is still becoming more powerful, but needs to control the ghosts before a rematch.

I didn't see a lot to indicate the Consular is really all that powerful. Spent most of the story doing diplomacy, whereas the Inquisitor has some of the most powerful Sith out there gunning for her from near day 1.

Legion: Geth do not infiltrate.
C-Sec Customs: You should leave your personal synthetic assistant at home. They're not allowed on shuttles anymore.
Legion: Geth do not intentionally infiltrate.

The Consular will be reined in by the fact that he is "light side" force-wise.
Therefore while he will be fighting to survive and defend, he will ultimately also be trying to not kill his opponent.

The Inquisitor on the other hand is not constrained by this.
In fact, he will be actively trying to kill his opponent using any method necessary.
This ability to act unrestrained, limited only by power and wits, will win out in the long run over someone who is being "held back" by a moral code.

That's why Vader had to kill the Emperor for Luke.
Luke's conscience wouldn't let him attack the Emperor, even though he knew that killing him would end untold suffering.
He was more worried about his own "force alignment" than saving the galaxy from oppression.

The Jedi Consular is more powerful than anyone else in the Force. The shielding technique he learns is incredibly power and most that use it die after only a few times. The consular uses it a bunch of times and is no worse for wear. The fact that he can do this shows how strong he is in the Force. Just because it isn't flashy like force lightning doesn't mean he isn't the strongest in the Force.

Unfortunately strongest in the Force in no way indicates he would win the fight.
He would actually have to be willing to use that ability to a deadly limit in order to win.

The Inquisitor will have no problem pushing his limits and doing everything underhanded and dirty that he can to gain an advantage and actually kill the Consular.

Uh... where is it stated that he's more powerful? You missed a lot of dialogue if you think you can use the shielding technique and be just fine. It's stated that it almost kills you. Of course, they screwed the pooch when they wrote the consular and that doesn't really show up beyond dialogue, but it's there.

Besides, we're talking about who would win in a fight. What's the consular gonna do? Shield him to death... from... uh...? It's a technique with a pretty limited application, whereas the Inquisitor's story ability seems pretty good for defense and attack. As a bonus...

Spoiler

The inquisitor gets to bind a DS or neutral Consular's ghost to himself after killing him! Yes!

While its true that the JC is one of the most powerful jedi of this generation it should be noted that the SI is one of the most powerful sith. But because of his former slave status only 2 people acknowledge this and that's darth decimus and Khem val. Khem val says that SI is the heir to tulak hord. Also the SI had to face far more adversity then the JC.

I'd say the consular. For starters he as able to defeat the First Son which is no small feat. Although the inquisitor defeated Darth Thanaton he needed the ghosts extra power to pull it off. Also forgive me, but I am pretty sure the First Son is stronger than Thanaton.

Thanaton gone toe to toe with sith emperor former apprentice and defeated her that was before he even become member of dark council when he was a mere sith apprentice.
